Hello team,
So the competitors have picked up their registration packages for tomorrow’s competition and the first of four events has been released:
Against a 10 minute running clock, each participant has one attempt to get a max number of pullups (chin over vertical plane of bar), followed by as many attempts as they want at getting a 1RM squat clean. Both components are scored separately and the squat clean must not be a power clean and front squat combo.
Should be a cracker… good way to start with something strength-related as opposed to a massive metcon… but of course that will come later!
First heats kick off at 9 am, second event is revealed at 11 and then onwards from there. The last event for the day will be explained at 410pm so we’re looking at everything being wrapped up by 630-730 or so. A long day but it will be exciting all the way through with our guys and girls laying it on the line in every WOD. Come on down if you want to check out the action at Crossfit Taranis – no fee for spectators!
REMEMBER: There is only ONE class this morning, at 9:00 a.m. This is so everyone can head down and cheer at Taranis and support our CFZ Family!

WOD: Winter Challenge Mashup
In the spirit of the competition, we’ve got a line up of good competitive events for your teams to battle out!
Part 1 – 10 minute running clock
- Each team member gets one attempt at max pullups (our usual standard applies here). If you use a band, your reps will be divided by 2
- In the remaining time, as a team you must complete as many ring dips, burpees, and situps as possible. All three team members can go at one time, each team needs a set of rings to work off. If you use a band for ring dips, your rep number will be divided by 2. Each team member must get at least 5 of each movement.
- These two events are scored separately
Part 2 – Row relay fun
- As a team, you must row as far as possible in 9 minutes, all using the same erg. Score will be in total metres traveled.
Rank each team in all of the events to determine the winner!
